European United Left/Nordic Green Left European Parliamentary Group

Front de gauche

The Front de Gauche is a coalition made-up of the French Communist Party, the Left Party, the Union pour les Outre-Mers, the United Left (which brings together several groups such as FASE, the anti-capitalist left and the Workers' Party), as well as trade unionists, activists and well-known intellectuals.

4 MEPs from the Front de Gauche were elected in June 2014: Marie-Christine Vergiat, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Patrick Le Hyaric, and Younous Omarjee. Their work focuses on building a social, democratic, feminist, ecological and peaceful Europe and resisting policies which encourage austerity and unemployment.
